How do I know that a church is a mess? Cuz I walk into it.

You're a mess? Good news! Salvation was tailor made for you! (For me too!)

Interesting posts, but I think we are off topic.

Maybe we need a new thread to discuss how we cope with church disfunction in general.

On one hand we bash the LC for how messed up it is, then say all churches are messed up. Is that hypocritical?

"Messed up" can mean different things. All churches are comprised of imperfect people and so are imperfect. In that sense they are all "messed up."

The LR took being "messed up" to the level of abuse of members and even of outsiders. That's the difference. Isn't that obvious?

Maybe that's why my mama took me to church every time the doors were open.

I was born 2.5 months premature. I wasn't suppose to make it. But I did. My sister, 8.5 yrs older, said that after 2.5 months, I became a monster. She said I had ADHD before they knew about it.

I accepted Jesus as my savior and was baptized at 8 yrs old. And was taught once saved always saved. I cling to that.

Harold, you cannot secure your salvation, nor do you need to. (No clinging necessary!) He has you sealed unto the day of redemption. Rest in that fact. Rest in every word He spoke because they are promises, sure and true. Same hand that made everything you can see holds you, brother!
